Description

We're back at one of our old favorite's - Liberty Lands - for this month's volunteering event! We hope to see you there :) Parks and Recreation, VU PHL Style: We're headed back to the site of our 4th birthday, Northern Liberties Green, to clean up and improve three of their cherished parks on Saturday 3/12. Just in case spring-ish weather decides to surprise us all, we do have a rain date of Saturday 3/19. Wow, we're excited just writing about it, and we know you are too. Before the logistics (love us some logistics), let's all take a brief moment to learn a bit about this month's partner. Northern Liberties Green is a group dedicated to maintaining green spaces in the Northern Liberties neighborhood. And now, the much anticipated logistics. We will be meeting & checking in at the Liberty Lands park, then dispersing from there. The event will both kick off and end at Liberty Lands. When signing up to join us on 3/12, please sign up for which park you'd like to help clean & improve. To learn about what we'll be doing within each park, look below!
